WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-G. L. God
frey, A. B. Williams and Arthur L.
Thomas, constituting a majority of the
Utah commission, have filed with the
secretary of the interior, the annual re-
pun VI GAO GIlC
OF the territory. A memorandum at
the close of the document stat es that
commissioners Carlton and MeClelland
dissenting from many of the views eX-
pressed therein do not sign the report.
The population of the territory is
estimated at 200, 000-a gain of nearly
go, 600 since 1885. The valuation of the
property in the several counties of the
territory is given as $35, 665 1902. The
the report, has been equal to that of
any former period in the history of the
territory. On April 1st of the present

the territories of Utah, Arizona, Wy
Oming and New Mexico, and the
states of Nevada and Colorado
was 1852, 1888. The total church
of Utah was 1872 ,207. The
strength of the non-Mormon element is
estimated at 200. This element now
owns, of the assessed property of the
territory, nearly one-third, exclusive of
railroad property. The different relig-
ious denominations have now in Utah
SiXty-tWO churches. These churches
have established the control of eighty
seven schools, with an aggregate of
6 ,08S pupils and $50 teachers. Since
the passage of the Edmunds law in 1882,
5S1 persons have been indicted for I'M
lawful CO-IdDlJdIlOI1, anu ZoS Oh GI6SO
were convicted. The number convicted
of polygamy was fourteen. Many
of the persons indicted have fled
to escape arrest. During the
past year the names of sixty-seven
men have been reported to the COM
as having entered into polyga-
my. The commission renewS it rec
concentrations of last year except such
as were enacted into laws at the last ses-
sion of congress. The commission also
recommends that authority be confer
red upon the governor of the territory
to appoint the following officers: Select
men, clerks, assessors, recorders and
of district schools. In
the commission submits
that, in it's opinion, the results which
have followed from the passage of the
Edmunds act have been very beneficial
to the territory. 1t has provided fair,
honest and orderly system of elections.

to his Office for preliminary survey of
the old PeraltO private land claim, in

declines to entertain the ap-
plication for the reason that

cation of private land claims, and as
an investigation would be necessary in
this case, the application is denied.
This claim is the same which Commits
sioner Sparks discussed at length in

fully established its fraudulent charac-
ter.

Farnlsr,s ALLIANCE.

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 4.-The Nation
al Farmers Alliance began its seventh
annual convention here this morning
with fifty delegates present, from Illi-
nOiS. Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Dakota. The only business
transacted this morning was the ap-
pointment of the usual committees.
Secretary Milton George, of Illinois,
reports 1000 more alliances added
since the last session, and that there
are 100000 members in all. The
Southern Alliance had been invited to
send delegates, and move for a con-
solidation of the two. The National
Alliance is organized in the states
above mentioned, and besides in Kan
sas, Michigan, Idaho, Missouri, Ar
kansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Washington Territory, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Texas.
MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. AT the af-
ternoon session of the National Farm
ers' Alliance, Secretary Milton George
presented his report. Mayor AmoS
welcomed the Alliance, and j. G.. Ken
nedy, of Iowa, responded. President
j. a. Streeter had no written report,
but made short address. On the re-
port of the Committee on Credentials
brisk discussion arose. According to
the constitution each state is
allowed two delegates, but through
some misunderstanding there was
an impression in Minnesota that each
subordinate alliance was entitled to
direct representation. With this I'M
Outstanding some twenty delegates
from different parts of the state were
in the hall and claimed seats and u
right to vote. A resolution amending
the constitution was made so as to al
low each state a larger representation,
and finally settled the difficulty to the
satisfaction of all. No evening session
was held.
